Happy Holidays and Brightest Blessings to you and yours from Isis Books and Gifts!
 As the wheel of the year turns, the Winter Solstice is nearly upon us. The sun has almost reached the southernmost point in its journey across the sky and will appear to remain motionless before beginning to re-ascend northward bringing with it light and the promise of springtime, life and warmth. This is the time for the death of the old god of the year, followed by the Goddess giving birth to the new Sun God. Yule is the time to end the period of darkness
May Your Yuletide Blessings Be Many!
In this newsletter we have featured items from our Book, Tarot and Music collections and free informative articles to help enrich your Yule Celebrations.
